Console always. I don't bother with my PC anymore. I have an Xbox to play games, and that's what I use to play games. I'm not a hardcore gamer than needs the latest and greatest of everything though. I'm more casual which the console fits better. Plus I actually have friends on Xbox. I can think of 2 or 3 people that I know who play PC games.

If you want the best looking, PC. I'm a PC gamer and I enjoy it very much, but the only issue is that if you have friends over, you're not going to be able to game on a PC. That's where consoles are better in my opinion.

Well if you want a good console that be the Wii U that was just released

926

While the Wii U might be a good upgrade from the Wii, at the moment the game support is not there nor are the graphics that much better than the 360 and PS3.

Were the graphics of the 360 and PS3 good or great when those systems launched ( NO) so give it time but there is one game on the system that hasd some huge upgrades in the graphics deparment over the other systems and that is Trine 2 and that it has PC assets fully glory running on the system

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-trine-2-face-off Trine 2 Face off Also keep in mind the Wii U is pushing 2 screens somthing the current systems could not nore canot do ( PSP/Vita Dont count they have GPU and CPU inside )

The Wii U version also deserves credit, of course. The game not only features many of the graphical upgrades found on the PC, but does so while delivering better image quality than the 360 and PS3 without compromising on the solid frame-rate. T

"Aside from some puzzling gamma issues, it's clear that Trine 2 on Wii U offers a decent number of graphical boosts over the existing console versions of the game."

But the Wii U does offer more then just gaming experience how about the whole social experience or soon the Nintendo TV service

While the Wii U will have plenty of gaming fun for the next 5 years or more the 360 and or PS3 will die down soon not like tommrow but soon enough

Console mostly. I do buy a couple on PC (BF3 and strategy games), but mostly console. I quite simply got fed-up of all the nonsense surrounding PC games. Crashes, endless patches, the patchers themselves, bugs, multiplayer that requires hours to get working, bugs, endless hardware upgrades, bugs, etc. At one point I was spending more time (and sometimes money) trying to get PC games to work properly than actually playing them. Add on to that that many games you were stuck with once you bought due to DRM/codes/whatever and the end result was my gaming experiences were quite narrow. A game had to appear truly amazing for me to take the risk and even then I was burned a few times.

Bought my PS3 and I've probably played 3 times as many games on it than I ever did on the PC. Plus I work at my computer all day anyway, so getting away from it to play games is quite a good idea.

Console. I still occasionally play games on the computer, but I was never really in to upgrading my system so the nonsense with system requirements got frustrating. There's nothing to worry about with the console though, I can buy any game for it and I know it will work.

It depends on the game and how the company behaves really, I'm getting GTA5 for my 360 since Rockstar treat the PC like the child they never wanted, while a company like Crytek or Valve support the PC pretty well, and the increased ability lets me push the games more.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
